GETTING THERE NEARLY FIRE UP,S TIME !!!!

What is it then.

Looks sort of 80s era sports racing car.

Twin CBR1000 engines ?

I love this type of car.

HI ITS A HOME BUILD WITH A HIGHLY MODIFIED ADR SPORTS1000 BODY

Andy top marks mate looks bloody awesum, the ultimate 2 ltr sports, i love it.
sort of makes me wish i had of gone the
BE way instead of the evo engine, never mind to late now, would be very interested to see performance figures when you get it sorted.
good luck
cheers Kaspa

Anything with TWO engines has to be good!

It's looking extremely cool and with the 2 engines poking out let the competition know the drivers Cajones Grandes!

2 x CBR1000F motors = 260bhp

Jeez!

Nice

I've seen that arrangement before on a hilclimb car video once, it was a black sports proto with the same engine arrangement you have. can't remember what it was but the sound was brilliant.

anyway little confused on you chassis,

How is the front part of the car connected to the rear bulkhead (25mm alloy angine mount plate) it looks like there's only a thin tube attached to the side of the engines and the two rollbarr braces.... is that enough? the mojo's where somewhat like that and they where very bad to crash if you get my point.. am i missing something?

otherwise: Oh man this is gonna be good :-)

hi the engines are mounted to the 25mm plate, the cds tubing that is on the outer part of each engine ties in with the frame there is also two mounts in the middle wich tie the engines to the frame i am also considering making the two centre bars that travel from the ali plate up to the roll bar differently any ideas anybody!

Looks very cool indeed!
...but I can't help getting a bit scared when I see how the lower wishbones at the rear join the frame
I may be wrong but I don't think a threaded bolt (even with rolled threads) should be loaded in this way, specially not on the lower wishbone where forces are great (the other end of the wishbone is mounted in the same way, but with even greater angle?)

The balljoint should be on the tube center line

Johan is right, the threads are in bending and are the sole resistance to toe in and out. Under braking and acceleration those threads will be bent back and forth.

Also, that rear suspension bay really needs some additional triangulation, unless this was an early picture before it was added. It's hard to tell from one side-view picture.

HI YOU WILL BE LPEASED TO KNOW THESE ARE PICTURES FROM 2005 THE REAR WISHBONES ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NOW AS IS THE STREGNTH OF THE REAR CAGE ! AS A COMPETITOR I GET TO SEE WIDE SELECTION OF RACE CARS BOTH HOME CONSTRUCTED AND PROFESSIONALLY CONSRUCTED YOU WOULD BE SUPRISED AT HOW FLIMSY SOME OF THEM SEEM I WILL TRY AND FIND AN UP TO DATE PHOTO

Ack, UPPER case! That's the e-mail version of shouting. I hope you aren't upset at the comments.

About how other cars are built, Staniforth mentions this in one of his books: how other people build there cars has little to do with building yours the right way.

not upset -password on upper case
